SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 272,019, dated February 13, 1883.

Application filed August 9, 1882. (No model.) Patented inA England July 10, 1882, No. 3,272, and in France July 13, 1882. No. 150,101.

To all whom it muy concern Be it known that I, HENRY FREDERICK BEAUMONT, a subject of Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, residing at Whitley Beaumont, near Huddersfield, in the county ot' York, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in Shooting-Seats, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists in the combination, forming one article, of an umbrella, parasol, or sunshade, with a shootingfseat, in the manA ner substantially as hereinafter set forth.

I proceed, with reference to the accompanying drawings, to fully describe my invention.

Figure l is a frontelevation of mycombined shooting-seat and umbrella, the seat and umbrella being in their closed position; Fig. 2,I

a side elevation thereof; Fig. 3, a perspective view of the combined article with the seat open; and Figs. 4 and 5 are-detail views on a larger scale of certain parts.

In carrying out my invention the shaft or leg A of the shooting-seat is utilized to form y the stick of the umbrella or like article, and

`to this shaft or leg the usual umbrellafurni ture is applied. The top "notch of the umbreila is secured to this shaft or leg at a, and in front of the disk or plate B, which limits the entrance of said leg or shaft of the seat into the ground.

In order to prevent the tips of the stretchers from obstructing the ready opening of the umbrella bytheir being caught between the hinges or joints C of the arms E, supporting the frames or flaps D, forming the seat, or otherwise interfering with the same, I fit or provide theseliinges or joints with angleshaped or wedge-shaped projecting pieces c in the mannerishown in detail views Figs. 4 and 5, so that on the umbrella being opened these projecting angular pieces abut or strike against the tips of the stretchers and throw them aside and out of the way of the hinges or `joints. For this purpose, also, the sliding sleeve G, to which the hinges or joints C are secured, has its lower portion beveled or chamfered, as shown at g. lI provide a ring or stop upon the stick A, as will be seen plainly in Fig. 5.` This ring or stop limits the downward movement of the sleeve G, and receives the weight upon the arms E when the seat is oecupied. When the combined article is used as an umbrella or the like these frames or liaps flaps D serve as a handlefor the same.

A ring,f, secured by a cord, f, or a chain attached to the stick A or other part, may be added to keep the umbrella or the like folded when the combined article is to be used as .a seat or to be carried.

WhatI claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In combination with the umbrella and stick A, the seat-frame D, arms E, hingesor joints C, sleeve G, and wedge-shaped projecting pieces e, substantially as specified.

2. In combination with `the umbrella and stick A, the seat-frame D, arms E, hinges or joints G, sleeve G, the disk or plate B, and penetrating-point, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

3. In combination with the umbrella and stick A, the seat-frame D, arms E,Y hinges or joints C, sleeve G, and a ring or stop upon the stick A to limit the motion, substantially as set forth.

4:. The combination, with the umbrella and stick, of two hinged pieces, D, forming a seat when open and ahandle for the umbrella when closed, the arms E, and sleeve G, substantially as set forth.
